Introduction to the Java Stack

This training will provide a brief introduction to the Java Stack team and some of its tools. It is useful for both developers and managers. This training is even beneficial for those who believe they already know what the Stack provides and how we provide it. This training will become a prerequisite for all future Stack trainings.

Give your application a "Project Name" with no spaces or special characters.

Give your application a java package name.

Specify where you would like this application created. There should not be any spaces in the directory. For example: "c:\training". A directory matching your project name will be created inside of the directory specified.

Select "Next".

In the "Security" section uncheck "Use LDS Account Authentication".

In the "Service Layer" section change "Database Platform" to "embedded".

Select "Next".

Select "Build".

When your application is built go ahead "Exit".

Next we will import this project into your LDSTech IDE.

Launch the LDSTech IDE.

Close the "Welcome" Screen.

Go to File->Import...->Maven->Existing Maven Projects Select "Next".

Specify the location of your newly created project in "Root Directory". For example "c:\training\stack-starter". Select "Finish".

This will configure your eclipse workspace to use this maven project. It may take several minutes to download maven dependencies.

Once it appears the application is imported and all dependencies downloaded we need to run the application on Tomcat:

Right click on the "...-web" folder in the Eclipse "Project Explorer".

Go to Run As->Run on Server

Select "Finish"

Your application will now be deployed to your local tomcat instance and the application will be launched. When complete your browser should launch showing you the home page of your application.
